The start of summer came with the usual promise: festivals, friends, and sun-drenched days, blurring into late nights. I soaked it up—fully. Somewhere between music, laughter, and more than one hangover, something shifted: I’ realised I wasn’t “trying” vanlife anymore. I was just… I’m in full van-life modus.

Meanwhile, the work on the studio kicked off.

So here I am: halfway through the year, somewhere on the road, with a smile on my face, occasionally ignoring my inbox, and totally at peace with it all.

April carried over into May with a quieter kind of movement. I wrapped up the last bits of administrative nonsense tied to my temporary homelessness, spent real time with loved ones, and enjoyed the first signs of spring. A spontaneous drive to Sweden gave me some space to think.

Workwise, I’ve stepped into a bigger role with my main client — more responsibility, but it feels like the right time. I’m also steadily keeping up the video work… still learning, still sucking a bit, but showing up anyway.

Life’s currently split between the van, the studio, and a storage container. Not exactly stable, but somehow it works.

I remain home to Antwerp, wrapping up a whirlwind phase of transitions. After clearing out my apartment and condensing 20 years of stuff into a van, I’ve officially embraced van life — and I’m loving the freedom it brings. That said, I’m still partly grounded here, taking advantage of the spring weather, catching up on work, and prepping my studio renovation, which will eventually become an Airbnb.

I recently kicked off my first road trip, heading towards Portugal to visit my mom for her birthday. I’ve been documenting the journey in short videos — mixing van packing chaos, beautiful roadside moments, and the occasional existential voiceover. You can find those on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube, where I’m slowly building a personal archive of this transformation.

Professionally, I’m deepening my skills in modern frontend frameworks, design systems, and AI-assisted development. It’s a new pace, and it’s moving fast — but I finally feel like I’m building tools that match my values: useful, simple, and a little rebellious.

In a nutshell: I’m coding, filming, driving, editing, learning, and thinking. Not in a rush, but definitely moving.
